I guess what I'd concern myself with is plots, origins, and stuff like that.

Since everybody and their brother has a billion ideas plus, why not let us share what we all have. Sure much may probably seem UN-starwars-ish at first, but the ideas born here can be made to fit a certain format. for now I'd say try to remain objective.

Since my previous posts yeilded moderate ideas and debate I am a little hopeful. I can't control what you will say--but please try not to make it rediculous like weilding 88 lightsabers, or petty, or some kind of ultra powerful super god who is absolutely infallable. Uniqueness a plus.
I'm sure the purists can help us keep objectivity about us. Something that can really pass for a convincing individual(s) as well as a back story.

How so in philosophy? A different type? Perhaps a tragic one who actually used the philosophy for good--different good than the jedi-- but was killed...perhaps indirectly because it was so misunderstood?

Speaking of sophistication, I'm all for a charming Sith Lord a la Count Dooku. We need a break from the usual, ugly Sith Lord who keeps blabbering nonsense and fighting crazy. I like Nihilus and Kreia, and more unique characters like them would definitely be a refreshing change.

One possible idea I had in mind was to take Nihilus to the next level - A Sith Lord who is not a user of the Force, but the very epitome of the Dark Side, a living rival to the Force, he who can twist himself to any shape, become omnipresent, a virtually impossibly powerful fiend. Of course, we would have to underpower him a bit, since this is a video game we're talking about.

Humans are the ultimate epitomy of good and evil eh?

Make us see in full stride just what you mean.

That's just my usual preference for most stories: movies/tv/games/books. But if you want me to elaborate, I'd say the True Sith should be in the same style as the Old Sith Empire (6,900 - 4,900 BBY). Coincidentally, thats what the true sith might be anyway.

1. A deformed human who is an exceptional fighter, and fairly powerful in the Force

2. Similar to what Prime said, but taken to the extreme. A disfigured body and a weak fighter, but extremely powerful in the Force. What I would most like to see, is a Sith Lord who has devoted so much of his life to becoming more powerful with the Dark Side, he has given up his body, and become a Dark Side essence, if you will. He's almost like a cloud of Darkness that has incredible power over the Force.

I'm not really sure how you would defeat such a character described in number 2, but I think that would just be the ultimate in cool Sith Lords.

There used to be a couple of threads with the same, or similar topic, but they are way too outdated to be resurrected now. Anyway, on one of them I posted a concept art of my main villain idea, so I'm reposting it here. (I used this appearance later, to portray a villain in my fics, so don't be surprised if this picture looks familiar from somewhere)
Basically, he's the leader of the True Sith. He's extremely powerful in the Force, so powerful in fact, that he rarely uses his lightsaber to defeat his enemies. Since the concept art is colourless, I'll emphasise that the character's robe is red and the armor black. He is an alien, obviously of the True Sith species, of shiny black skin. His face is (just like on the drawing) completely covered by his hood.
I haven't thought much of the agenda of the True Sith, except for the well known ones - conquest and power over others.
My whole idea is pretty old, I admit, but still I thought I'd remind the others of it once more and share it with the new folks.

Hmmm, I i would go along with Prime, and have a really strong in the force but weak fighter (ala Yoda in ESB and RotJ) and I think I would go with the apprentice being a female Sith Lord as i don't think there have been enough, sophisticated and elegant (a female version of Count Dooku)

I'd personally love to see a Sith equivalent to Grand Admiral Thrawn. He is a master of battle, but his prowess comes from his tactics and his sheer intellect, not his brute strength. He is both charismatic and a true terror at once.

I suppose this is similar to what Sabretooth was getting at with Count Dooku. Count Dooku seemed much the same... except that he was a complete and utter moron. I would simply like to see a Sith Lord with more than "kill all," "conquer all," or "inflict pain on all" going through his head. Conquering the galaxy for such a Sith would not be his main object, but the journey, the game, would be the true prize. Like a galactic game of chess, I suppose. Maybe I just want to hear him say "checkmate".

I'm just so tired of the disfigured Sith Lord, or the Force God/Goddess. I would love to see a character that has a leg to stand on beyond their Force potential. Someone with depth of character and not just a cool look or an impressive Force attack.

If they made this the next baddie... I would cry tears of joy. Maybe even do a happy-dance

What about Revan came back, after having destroyed the True Sith at the price of falling to the dark side? And no he did not want to rule the galaxy after he retuned as a fallen dark lord from the unknown regions. He might do something else, I have not given much thought to it. But perhaps, in the end, he only needed to be defeated just to be saved and redeemed just once again, and become one with the Force.

I don't know. I think we need a fresh villain. A lot of people would be upset if you were forced to fight and/or kill Revan in K3, I think. Not all of us have envisioned him as falling back to the dark side.

Thought we already got ouurselves a General Thrawn "bad guy" in the form of Revan, what, with how he won the Battle of Malachor V? Another one wouldn't hurt, though, as long as he/she is more detailed.

Also, send in the Exchange (note that its branch on Taris and Nar Shadda are gone, but it's an intergalatic crime syndicate, it's going to live for quite some time...), and Czerka Corporation as some tradiational baddies to compete against/ally with.

That was backstory. That particular side of Revan was never a part of the game. Plus we don't know anything about him, really, other than that he was supposedly a tactical genius. There's nothing in-depth about Revan's backstory. We know the basics and nothing more.

*(I am not suggesting that the character should be of the Yoda species, or green, or *that* small, or have an irregular use of syntax, BTW )

And well the Yoda race cannot be DS probably.

Also note that anything about his race is top secret. There are myth that GL himself would put on his ninja outfit and finish off anyone who are too curious about the Yoda race. And also myth that an entire print run of cards vaporizing in one night due to a card showing the yoda race in their secret ritual.

I'd go with the final boss being a tribute to the movies: rather than dueling the main bad guy (okay have that too, and have it end like Luke\Vader in ESB or Yoda\Palpatine in RotS) scream down a trench to destroy some invincible Sith weapon, ala TPM, ANH, RotJ, HooT, oops. That last one's not Star Wars but you get the idea. The main bad guy can be owned by Bastila, Revan, Exile, ect.

A stunningly beautiful woman, with abilities compareable to Grandadmiral Thrawn (intelligence, calmness, tactical & strategical genius), dressed in all white, highly respected among the Sith, using one blue lightsaber, equally good in force & combat. And self confident like Count Dooku, fighting in an elegant style.

So basically what you are saying is that you would kinda of want to see Galadriel if she had taken the one ring from Frodo...I don't remember the exact quote but, "...beautiful and terrible as the dawn...all will love me and despair...".

I think that this potentially could work...just imagine if this was your PC's love interest/mentor and then there was that plot twist at some point in the story...

"In Place of a Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and Night, Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and Lightning! Stronger than the foundation of the earth. All shall love me and despair."

I like Vaelastraz combo idea.

A blue lightsaber would add to her uniqueness...
This is just an example but it could show that she wants to differ herself from former Sith Lords, or common sith. She could stand for something entirely new.

^^^Atris used a blue too. I think it's what gives the enemy more layers. Not just plain Jedi, plain Sith. But of course, only when the plot can explain it.

Actually Atris used whichever color you specified in that dialogue with Atton, since she used the Exile's old lightsaber (I actually said once in that dialogue that I had a red lightsaber and Atris had a red saber when I encountered her later).
Also, Atris wasn't a Sith. She fell to the Dark Side near the end of the game and she didn't even realize it. If she considered herself a Sith she would have had a red saber. Besides it takes time to build a lightsaber, you can't expect her to quickly change her saber to red between her fall under Traya's influence and the Exile's arrival to Telos.

@Vaelastraz: But then she wouldn't be a Sith, would she? I could go with silver, but only if the villain turned out to be something different than a Sith.

How about if we see her before the final battle she used a color that matches your character type. When you meet her in the final battle she uses red.

I was thinking that it would be cool if you had that plot twist (that has been such a big part of SW in general)...think of Sidius, you never saw him with a red saber until he was confronted by Jedi - so I think the idea of not seeing the traditional red saber until the twist/final confrontation would be great!

EDIT: I always thought of Atris as a great charcter that could be used as a bridge between the games...going with what is accepted as canocical, LSF Exile, I always assumed that Atris was left alive. She has such great potential - for either falling from her grace and allowing the mercy shown to become the center of her dark heart; or having that mercy fill her with light and showing the way to redemption. Regardless, I have always felt that she would be determined not to make the same mistakes again - she would not sit idly by and wait and think. She in fact could be a great choice to be the mentor for your new character - whether or not she actually ends up as the new "bad guy" or not - as a very proactive force in the galaxy.

How about a sithlord that was fatally wounded, therby supporting her life thru the use of a huge machine connected to her body.

Oh one thing. A sithlord with NO LIGHTSABER!! Yes, give her a sithblade, a spear, a reaper, a 2 by 4, but nO LIGHTSABER. A n ice bladeborn tradition breaths new air to the red glowstick swinging people.
